The 3 year check up

Finn had his 3 year check up yesterday and blew the height and weight chart out of the water. Actually I think he didn’t really on weight. his diaper was wet. The very lucky body did not need to have any shots and got a clean bill of health. He went to the dentist today and his teeth have gotten more space and he got a full cleaning with no complaints. 

Good play choices

So yesterday I picked up a shopping cart toy for Finn. I think it might be the best toy I’ve ever gotten for him if you’re judging that by how much he plays with it. He pretty much hasn’t stopped since 1:30 pm yesterday when I put it together for him aside from when he was asleep.

In another change of events for Finn,  he hasn’t wanted to walk up the hill to school, so I finally busted out the stroller and he’s been happily riding in it. He used to scream bloody murder every time I put him in a stroller and so I hadn’t even tried since he was about a year old. I filled the tires today so it won’t be so annoying to push, I think. We’ve had the darn thing for 6 years, as we got it as a baby shower gift when I was pregnant with Ingrid. 

I’ve also convinced Ingrid that her doctor doesn’t want her to watch so much tv, and if the doctor says it she has to do it. It’s pretty cheaty of me to use the doc as a tool, but I’d rather her not want to watch tv 24x7 and I am not lying to her in the slightest or even stretching the truth. 

On a more personal note, I have been trying to stay warm and relax to the New Age music channel on Directv. It is rather relaxing. Relaxing is good. It looks like the fog is trying to go away and the sun is trying to shine!

Strange Days Dream

I used to always share my dreams with people, but now I only do so occasionally. Last nights dream was really a series of odd occurrences though and stuck with me after waking, so I thought I’d write it down. 

For some reason I was wandering around an SCA type even hosted by Heather and was wearing wildly inappropriate costume for the event. I was in a Kimono type dress with a corset over it. We were viewing people’s outfits as they came in saying if they were historically viably correct or not. Drew was there also wearing some sort of Kimono outfit. 

We got plates of food and I could not decide where to sit so I ended up in the middle of the room and a loud thunderstorm started outside. All of a sudden a large amount of water came washing own me as the roof sprang a leak. 

I decided that I didn’t want to be there and generally the dinner broke up, and I was wondering where my husband went. Shari showed up and said she knew where he was and to follow her. But she was riding a skateboard and going so fast I couldn’t see her. I ended up following the large number of children that were following her and finally caught up to her at the end. 

When I saw Peter, I went and gave him a kiss as he was playing Poker with Isaac and some other people and we began making smart-ass comments to each other. Someone commented that we were clearly not the couple that needed a castle to be happy. 

Cabbage patch shame.
